An unremarkable Sunday, which our guest spends walking to the Arnish Lighthouse and back. A trek of some 10 miles. She is thwarted at the last hurdle, the gate by the keepers' cottage, this being in a mire of horsepoo. The weather looks threatening, with one showers passing just south of Arnish and the other straight over Newton. It very gradually dries and clears up, leaving us a fantastic sunset. After a great supper of steak, chips and fried onions, we have a lengthy chat with our guest, a pleasant lady from the European continent. She has been visiting Scotland for some 10 years now and is quite taken with Lewis. The island is not as flat and featureless as she had imagined it to be. Tomorrow, she intends to walk from Carloway to Stornoway, 16 miles.
